Conversion From Decimal Degrees To Minutes (Examples)
- Example 1: toe 0.350 decimal degree = 21 min (21'). A search is performed for the decimal value (0.350) in the table. The co-ordinates are then formed from this point/value. Line to the left = 20' and line upwards = 1' (which equals 20' + 1').
- Example 2: camber 1.683 decimal degrees = 1° 41' (1 degree and 41 min). This result is obtained as follows: Split the value into 1.000 = 1 degree (1°) and search for the remainder 0.683 in the table. Then form the co-ordinates again. Line to the left = 40' and line upwards = 1' (which equals 40' + 1').
